Isn’t it funny how a cell in the body
can act with a mind of its own?
When one becomes a million in all
the metaphors melt amid the caterwaul
as god returns the insult:
a lover grieved is a burden relieved
and all the time that I bought
was bought with the wrong currency.
There’s an answer I don’t want to hear
to a question I don’t want to ask
but do I love you as much as I did when you weren’t sick?
The answer I don’t want to hear
to the question I don’t want to ask:
Do I love you as much as I did when you weren’t sick?
I sing on the pedestrian bridge
with an ambulance below on the street.
We do this every night when I leave.
We go “wee-ah, wee-ah, wee-ah, wee-ah, wee-ah”
to a tune in time when two became three.
"Y" is for "you" and "m" is for "me" and
"a" is for "ARA-C"
with a side of splenomegaly.
There’s an answer I don’t want to hear
to a question I don’t want to ask
but do I love you as much as I did when you weren’t sick?
The answer I don’t want to hear
to the question I don’t want to ask:
But do I love you as much as I did when you weren’t sick?
Tomorrow is a rumor, you say
and nobody else says anything
save crestfallen Padre Pio
who says to Doctor Moreau:
"Give me a broken thermometer.
One that reads a bit low…"
